Willola Beach girl gets wish following brain surgery BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Bryn Thompson was only twoyears-old when she underwent brain

surgery. It wasn’t even the first surgery she had underwent in her young life. It was the only option for Bryn though, who had been diagnosed

with Sturge-Weber Syndrome when she was six-weeks-old. Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a neurological disorder marked by a distinctive port-wine stain on the fore-

head, scalp or around the eye. The stain is a birthmark caused by an overabundance of capillaries near the surface of the skin. The rare disorder can cause seizures, developmental delays and eye problems due to pressure amassed in the area. The syndrome is responsible for Bryn’s more than eight surgeries she has already undergone in her young life — her first one at three-monthsold. She’s been put in to a drug-induced coma to stop seizures. “She was at risk for stroke,” her mom, Jenilee said. “Her first seizure was when she was three-months-old and it lasted an hour. “We were rushed to CHEO and spent the week there.”

Life was stressful for the Thompson family which also includes dad Greg and Bryn’s older brothers Kayson, 8, and Keifer, 6. The Thompson’s never new when the next health scare would hit. “In the summer of 2014, we were camping in Picton when Bryn had a massive seizure,” Jenilee said. “We rushed her to the hospital and were air lifted to CHEO. “We almost lost her in the hospital in Picton, but the medical team was amazing and did everything they needed to keep her alive. “We spent three weeks in and out of the Intensive Care Unit at CHEO that time.” See WISH on Page 7

It was cold, wet and muddy and the enticement of nearby, untold numbers of bottles of wine, must surely have tested the mettle of the nearly 200 cyclocross competitors competing on the fourth stop of the Eastern Ontario Cyclocross Race Series (EOCRS) held in Carp, Sunday, Oct. 15. KIN Vineyard played host to the fourth race in the 10-race EOCRS series, held at several venues around eastern Ontario. This is the first time a series race has been held at KIN, whose owner Christopher Van Barr is also a competitor. This race is also the only team race in the series. It is called a Madison and features teams of two cyclists racing the track alternately, for approximately 60 minutes. Sunday’s competition featured three races, two open races and one Eric Betterridge leads the early pack during the Madison Race held at KIN Vineyard in youth event, and 154 teams.

Weekends important to library users BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Saturday is the most important day for a public library to be open, said four out of 10 people who participated in customer surveys on the Ottawa Public Library’s opening hours. The library board heard the report on Oct. 10. The review began in April, the first one looking at opening hours in 15 years. The push for the review was customer feedback that people would like their branches open at different times. The information was collected in a variety of different ways. About 60 people participated in focus groups. Another 400 randomly selected citizens participated in a hybrid of online and phone surveys — as well as 5,259 cardholders. “For library card holders, picking your favourite day is a bit like asking them to pick their favourite child,” said Nik Nanos of Nanos Research, the company that did the study. Aside from days that libraries would be open, respondents were asked what times of day they prefer. On the weekend, 9 a.m. and noon, and noon to 3 p.m. were picked as favourites. On weeknights, it was 6 to 9 p.m. The majority of cardholders — 70 per cent of respondents — said they’d take advantage of Sunday summer hours. Trustee Pamela Sweet asked about the impact of changing hours on the staff’s union. “Will it cost more to staff on Sunday instead?” she asked. About 80 per cent of the city’s library employees are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

Wish granted: Bryn steadily on the mend From page 3

Bryn was referred to the Hospital for Sick Kids neurological surgery team in Toronto and was scheduled for a hemispherectomy — a procedure where a surgeon may remove some parts of the brain and/or disconnect other parts. The corpus callosum is cut to prevent the spread of seizures to the functional side of the brain. The skull is replaced and the scalp is sutured closed. On Jan. 5, 2015, Bryn underwent the eight-hour procedure. “We were told she would never walk or talk,” Jenilee said. “The surgery completely stopped all seizure activity and now she is living medication free. After her surgery she said three brand new words. She started sleeping through the night. “She actually started putting weight on while still in the hospital. The nurses couldn’t believe it. By day 9 they asked us if we wanted to go home. We had booked the Ronald McDonald House for three weeks. It was the best-case scenario.”

And not only that, Bryn is now a walking, talking machine. Bryn took her first steps on Oct. 29, 2016. “The girl never sits down or stops talking,” Jenilee said. “She started school this fall and is doing amazing. She’s loving it.” A huge weight has been lifted off the entire Thompson family, as they can now breathe a little bit after four years of uncertainty, fear and concern for their youngest family member. “It was really hard,” Jeniliee said speaking for the entire family. “We didn’t want to tell anyone at first it was so hard. But by not telling anyone, we were shutting the door on all the support.” Friends, family, neighbours and community members came out in force during the Thompson’s difficult times. They paid for, made and donated food. They paid for the Thompson’s stay at Ronald McDonald House. They picked up the young boys and took them to the beach so Jenilee and Greg could go to the hospital. “It was unbelievable,” Jenilee

said. “It made things so much easier. And nobody treated Bryn any differently. Kids will rip toys out of Bryn’s hands, just like they would of any other kid.” Their friends also encouraged the Thompson’s to apply for Tysen’s Mission to a Million, a charity raising money for the Make-a-Wish program. Last August, the Willola Beach community and extended friends hosted a barbecue fundraiser for the family. That’s when Bryn found out her wish would be granted. “They came in a fire truck to Submitted present her wish,” Jenilee said. This photo was taken at the barbecue in August, after Bryn found out her wish was grant“Tysen was here (the founder of his self-named charity). The ed.

Injection sites must meet the demand

ithin a matter of weeks, Ottawa’s pop-up safe injection site in Raphael Brunet Park in Lowertown may be redundant. Many nearby residents will be relieved if it closes. We ask them to be patient. No one would want an unauthorized tent site outside their front door. That’s understandable. The tale of the tent is an interesting one. The city is expected to have a legal safe injection site open soon in Sandy Hill. Because it was taking a while to open, well-meaning volunteers set up their tents. The police haven’t acted to shut them down because – while illegal – the tent site is likely saving lives. The mayor won’t press the police to act, and that’s a good thing. Our police need to operate at arm’s length from our politicians. Police lay charges, Crown attorneys decide if the case can be won, and judges and juries con-

sider evidence. It’s a system we can all rely on. Keep in mind that no city in Canada has acted to shut down an illegal injection site. And that Ottawa Public Health supports the work of the volunteers. Wait-and-see is the best course of action for now. We need to keep all options open until Sandy Hill opens. And once the Sandy Hill site is up and running, the city can gauge demand, and decide if Ottawa should apply to the federal government for a second – or more – safe injection sites. If there is a need for more locations, it appears the city is home to enough people willing to take matters into their own hands and create safe spaces. We should be thankful for that. Until then, the tent site needs a little more time. That’s what it will take. Shutting down the tent site is a potentially life-and-death decision. And no one wants to follow the letter of the law if it means someone dies.

Dealing with the ‘controversial’ Halloween costume problem

alloween didn’t use to be controversial. But then, that’s our world, isn’t it. All of a sudden things we used to do are things we shouldn’t have done and shouldn’t keep doing. People who say that often get scoffed at, but often they are right. For the last week or so the media have been full of discussion about schools and school boards issuing guidelines, sometimes even edicts, concerning what is or isn’t appropriate costuming for Halloween. The aim, of course, is to avoid children wearing outfits that could be offensive to other children, or their parents, or, most likely of all, nervous education bureaucrats. We live in nervous times and are sometimes more nervous than we need to be. The predictable cry has gone up, that grown-ups are taking Halloween

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town away from the kids. But, of course, Halloween was taken away from the kids long ago. It became a huge commercial event at the shopping centres, it became a night for some adults to dress up and party, it became the subject of countless horror movies. Halloween became an industry, in other words. Kids still like it, miraculously enough, but we are kidding ourselves to think that it is for them any more.

extreme cases. I mean, witches have the right to be witches and goblins have the right to be goblins. But, you know, it probably doesn’t hurt to help kids (and their parents too) become aware that mocking a nationality or an ethnic group, even just kidding, can hurt feelings, particularly the feelings of other kids. Not to mention the fact that showing up at the door dressed in certain ways is a guaranteed way not to get any candy. Now, what is offensive and what is not? I know someone who wanted to go out as the Grim Reaper. She was asked if she really wouldn’t prefer to go out as a butterfly. Grim Reapers are fun, sure, but perhaps if you were really sick you might not want one showing up at your door, asking for candy. Eventually, she decided to be a witch. As in all things, there is

a balance between what is ridiculously overprotective and what is just common sense. Common sense is a shifting thing and in this case it shifts with shifts in the population. At some point in history, kids would think nothing of dressing up as different nationalities or different ethnic groups. Now, we are a nation of different nationalities and different ethnic groups. You don’t dress up as the guy next door. That’s common sense. And when you come to think about it, no one is being deprived of a lot of fun by not being allowed to dress up in certain ways. Kids will always think of something – baseball and hockey players, lumberjacks, deep sea divers, royalty of various sorts, ghosts, ninjas, all the animals anyone can imagine, clowns. And, of course, witches.

Speaking of clowns, don’t forget politicians. It is likely that you will be seeing a fair number of Trump masks at your doorstep. Some people will be offended by that, but hey. Being protective only goes so far.

Rural councillors to reduce coach house red tape BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A motion by West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry to reduce the mandatory lot size for rural residents that want to build coach houses is aimed making it easy and cost effective. Coach houses are smaller, separate dwellings on the same lot as the primary home.

“I want to make sure it’s more beneficial for residents to build coach houses,” El-Chantiry told staff at the Oct. 6 agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting. Alain Miguelez, the program manager on the file for the city, said the concept is aimed for families looking to house multiple generations on the same lot. The city developed a draft policy

for coach houses in the suburbs and urban area last fall, but privately serviced homes — those on well and septic — were excluded. Staff circulated the tweaks to the draft plan for rural coach houses in June and July. So far there have been nine applications. When it was first proposed, the lot size for a coach house had to be 0.8

hectares. At the Oct. 6 meeting, staff proposed dropping that down to 0.65 ha — Darouze’s motion reduces it even further to 0.4 ha. Another bone of contention for El-Chantiry was the transit portion of the development charges that residents may have to pay if they decide to build a coach house. “For people to pay transit charges,

when the only bus they see is on TV is kind of rich,” he said. Tim Marc, senior legal counsel for the city, said there may be changes to the provincial law coming down the pipe that could see development charges pulled from coach houses. “We want to cut the red tape and make it easier for residents to build coach houses,” Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said.

Sparks Taekwondo students are using the martial arts skills they’ve learned from Master Ron Sparks to kick breast cancer in the butt. On Sunday, Oct. 22 the taekwondo school is hosting Kicking Breast Cancer in the Butt walk/ run featuring a 2.4-kilometre family run, 5-km and 10-km run around Constance Bay.

ruff said. “He thought it was a great idea.” So far, more than 150 participants have signed up for the event, and organizers will accept registration on-site up to 9:30 a.m. The route will be primarily on Bayview Drive.

Deep Roots to host Awesome Autumn Bash SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Deep Roots Food Hub, an innovative nonprofit Ottawa area venture that connects small-scale farmers, families and local food, is holding its first fundraiser, the Awesome Autumn Bash, on Nov. 4, in the Carp Agricultural Hall. The Awesome Autumn Bash promises to be a lively evening with great food and entertainment. The dinner features buffet choices of fresh seasonal dishes bursting with local veg along with delicious lamb and pork sides. Young local chef Joey Yagminas is flipping the focus of vegetables as a side dish into a plant-based main attraction. “At Awesome Autumn we’re going to show that plant-based meals can boom with flavour,” says Yagminas. “Everyday vegetables are more than just healthy—they’re exciting to cook with and the results can be both delicious and satisfying.” Even dedicated meat lovers will flip for creative standouts like the Buddha Bowl (rice topped with roasted root

medley, fresh baby spinach, avocado, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds drizzled with a sweet citrus peanut sauce.) and four artisanal gourmet salads. Inspired by this buffet of seasonal cookery the meal finishes up with skewers of fresh fruit. After dinner comes the dance—live rock and roll music furnished by Ottawa’s popular band of doctors The Star Tools. White coats and stethoscopes set aside, hair greased and arms tattooed, the rockin’ docs play for free and have helped charitable organizations raise well over $2 million. And to keep the energy level high a late night snack of veggie, cheese and herb wraps and fresh fruit will be served. Also during the evening guests will be able to bid on an exciting array of silent auctions items. A cash bar will also be open. Deep Roots Food Hub (DRFH) is the creation of a small group of mostly West Carleton residents. “Our project is in step with the growing farm to table movement,” explains Rob Tovell, co-

chair of the DRFH board of directors. “Along with programming — workshops on growing, preparing, preserving and storing healthy food — our volunteer team is in the process of constructing a community root cellar. The idea is to extend the season and enable our local farmers to distribute fresh vegetables locally,” says Tovell. “The proceeds from our November 4th party will be a significant help in moving our project forward.” Canadians import 80 per cent of their food. Although West Carleton is a rich agricultural area, most of the food grown is for animal feed and for food processing. “Deep Roots Food Hub was born out of the multi-faceted movement now underway to produce, store and make available good healthy food locally,” says Dr. Barry Bruce, a DRFH board member, and not coincidently the lead singer for “The Star Tools.” “It’s ironical, but with few opportunities to purchase fresh food locally West Carleton fits the classification of a food desert. For people with a limited

ability to travel not being able to purchase fresh food often leads to restrictive diets that have serious and expensive health consequences,” says Dr. Bruce. “According to the medical journal “The Lancet” obesity now kills three times as many people as malnutrition.” With the help of Ottawa Public Health, DRFH is in the process of forming partnerships with West Carleton area corner stores to make available basic fruits and vegetables year round. The group’s long-term plan is to scale up the venture by expanding programming and replicating community root cellars in various locations. The Awesome Autumn Bash begins at 6 p.m. in the Carp Agricultural Hall. Tickets for the dinner are $55 each or two for $100. Tickets for the dance only (start time 8:30 pm) are $20 each. Partial tax .receipts are available and parking is free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.deeprootsfoodhub.ca and at Kinburn Farm Supply and Nicholls General Store.

Fury fans celebrate season BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

The Ottawa Fury may not be in the playoffs, but their fans love ‘em anyways. The Fury played their final home game of the season on Sunday, Oct. 8. It was a game with no playoff implications, but the Fury fans came out anyway, as they have all season long. For the first time in franchise history, the Fury broke the 100,000 mark, setting the club attendance record for the team. Around 5,445 fans came out Sunday, pushing the season total to 104,354 fans in attendance. “Seeing the fans being loyal throughout this time whether we are in the playoffs or not, this is huge,” Fury coach and general manager Julian de Guzman told Metroland Media. “It brings me back to the time when we played in the second season under Marc Dos Santos. “The first half of the season was pretty slow and quiet, but fans kept coming out and the build up towards the playoffs, when we played that game against Minnesota to make it to the finals, and you saw everyone come on the field to celebrate that and it’s like, football actually exists in the Nation’s Capital.” De Guzman was a player for the team during the famed 2015 campaign, the only time the Fury have made a league championship in its four-year history.

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit ottawa.ca/agendas, or call 3-1-1.

De Guzman started this season as the assistant general manager and coach, came out of retirement to play one final game for the Fury and then, was named interim coach and GM after Paul Dalglish vacated the position for personal reasons. While the team flirted with a playoff berth for most of the season before officially being eliminated from contention on Sept. 27, de Guzman says he will use

the last game of the season (Oct. 14) to lay down tracks on the path going forward. “It’s about raising standards and pushing the bar higher and if we can finish off the season on a positive note, then we know where to continue on from,” he said. Meanwhile, de Guzman is using Fan Appreciation Day to enjoy what the Fury means to Ottawa soccer fans.

“For them to still be around even though we are not in the playoffs shows great meaning for what the game has in store for Ottawa for the future,” he said. “I think it creates that excitement and culture that Ottawa has always wanted for such a long time. Now here we have a professional environment to cater to the fans who are definitely loyal and stand behind their team no matter what the situation is.”

Province creates opioid task for to tackle issue BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The provincial government is establishing an emergency task force to grapple with the continuing opioid crisis, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Oct. 3. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, speaking on Facebook Live, said the move wouldn’t have been possible without people like Kanata parent Sean O’Leary, who leads a group called We the Parents — which advocates for teens who are addicted to opioids and the fam-

ily of Nick Cody. MacLeod introduced Nick’s Law — honouring a young constituent of hers that lost his life to opioid addiction several years ago — in the legislature on Oct. 3. “His mom and dad, Natalie and Steve, made a tremendous impact,” MacLeod said of the family speaking in the legislature. “The government has acknowledged there’s a crisis and it’s all hands on deck.” The government’s task force will be composed of front-line workers and people with lived experience.

The aim is to bring together opioid crisis stakeholders in harm reduction, addiction medicine and community-based mental-health services. As a first step, all public health units in the province will be provided with constant and upto-date public education materials to support their efforts in the community. The task force will drive the public education campaign. “Opioid overdoses are preventable and with more awareness and education youth will have a better understanding of how lethal opioids like

Get your business off the ground SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Helpful tips for getting your business off the ground Between October 15 and 21, BDC Small Business Week (hosted by the Business Development Bank of Canada) will be promoting the amazing work of some 850,000 Canadian entrepreneurs for the 38th year in a row! Do you dream of starting your own company? Here are seven tips to help you get your business off the ground. 1. Determine your target market First and foremost, you need to properly define your target market. The best way to do this is to carry out thorough market research to determine consumers’ potential interest in your products and/or services. 2. Surround yourself with experts Build a team of qualified professionals with different skillsets who will bring value to your business; for example, technicians, marketing specialists, salespeople, managers, lawyers, accountants, etc. 3.

goal(s) In order for your business to have growth potential, you need to pave the way for a prosperous future by setting immediate and long-term goals. 4. Consider your finances Starting a business obviously requires money. Consider different financing options in addition to bank loans, like private investors, laboursponsored venture capital

funds, assistance funds or funding agencies. 5. Manage your time wisely Allocate your time strategically by taking advantage of less busy periods to develop a networking plan on which to start building a client base. 6. Don’t dispense with formalities To build a solid foundation for your company, you need to address all technicalities involved with owning a busi-

ness. Make sure to get your ideas patented — or at least protected in some way. 7. Be forward-thinking with your business plan Your business plan is an invaluable tool that will allow you to clearly present your ideas to potential investors. Make sure it’s concise and engaging!

WOMEN IN BUSINESS! How to ace job interviews when switching careers SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Whereas professionals may have once worked for the same company for the majority, if not the entirety, of their careers, nowadays it’s not uncommon for men and women to change jobs several times before reaching retirement. Changing jobs and changing careers are not necessarily the same thing. Professionals mulling a career change will have to consider a host of factors that men and women looking to change jobs may never have to contemplate. Such factors

may include returning to school and lifestyle changes designed to make living on less income more feasible. Professionals changing careers may also need to develop a strategy for handling job interviews. When changing jobs as opposed to careers, professionals can draw attention to their résumés, essentially letting their experience speak for itself. But while experience is often a feather in a job candidate’s cap, professionals changing careers may need to focus more on their futures than their pasts when interviewing for a new career. • Draw attention to those skills

that will apply to your new career. All of your experience and skills likely won’t transfer to your new career, but that does not mean you’re going in with an empty briefcase. Make a list of your most transferable skills, and develop an interview strategy that highlights those skills and explains how they can be applied in both the near future and over the course of your new career. • Use your contacts to your advantage. Even if much of your experience won’t transfer to your new career, your professional network might still be valuable to a prospec-

tive employer. The longer you have been working the larger your professional network likely is, so highlight those contacts in your interview and how you can put them to good use should you be hired. • Showcase how you have adapted in the past. Much of the business world moves at a breakneck pace. That pace has become even faster thanks to advancements in technology that routinely affect how businesses operate. Even if you have never changed careers, that does not mean you have not adapted to change. Make a list of the changes your em-

Everyone at some point in their lives has suffered loss. It could be in the form of divorce, death, job, health; or even a loss of trust, safely, control or faith. Yet regardless of the type of loss we all experience Grief, which is a normal reaction to loss. However, how we react to and deal with our losses will determine how well we recover. As much as we may try to talk ourselves out of our Grief or let time try to heal it, it doesn’t work. To truly heal and recover from loss we need to complete what is incomplete and that is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever. To recover from Grief means: • Feeling better; reclaiming your health • Owning your circumstances versus your circumstances owning you • Having fond memories without the pain of regret, remorse or guilt • Knowing that is okay to feel sad and talk about your feelings regardless of what others think • Being able to forgive yourself and others • Being able to talk about your loss in a healthy way • Acquiring new skills on how to deal with loss directly How can unresolved Grief show up in our lives: • Reduced concentration • Changed eating habits • Addictions • Roller coaster of emotional energy • Unhealthy sleeping patterns • Inability to feel joy or happiness You may or may not know that recovering or not recovering from Grief has a tremendous, sometimes life-threatening impact on our overall health and sense of well being. It not only affects our lives but impacts those we love as well. We may be trying to become healthier physically yet find our results are slow or fleeting. This is why it is so important to deal with our unresolved grief if we are going to succeed in our overall emotional and physical health goals. As a Grief Recovery Specialist Gina can offer guidance, support and a safe environment to explore your grief and take you through the steps to recovery. Contact me today to embark on your personal journey to health and recovery. Gina Pilon, Grief Recovery Coach

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

Women still struggling while shattering the glass ceiling SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The “glass ceiling” expression appeared towards the end of the 1970s and refers to the obstacles that women must surmount in order to reach the higher levels of professional hierarchies. Even though women in the West are more highly educated and qualified than ever be-fore, we are still quite far from the principal of equal work for equal pay.

That is especially the case in other parts of the world. But we mustn’t despair. We just have to look back at the progress made in the last decades and redouble efforts to overcome the discrimination and stereotyping in the workplace that still cast a shadow over many women. We must stop believing that only men can embody competi- en bring these qualities — and glass ceiling hinders their progtiveness, ambition, charisma, more — to the workplace in a ress and reinforces a negative combativeness, power, and au- different, equally effective way. image of women. We should look at how the We should also ask ourselves thority. We must see that wom-

if the glass ceiling is maintained by choice or un-consciously, and what we can do to change those attitudes. We should ask ourselves why it is that many women end up in careers with only modest prospects and salaries, out of range of management roles and decision-making posts. Too many companies remain insensitive to the inner conflict many working women live, especially those who are mothers and heads of single-parent

families. The solution is to move towards creating conditions that would help women reconcile their work-family responsibilities. Women should take heart that starting a family doesn’t necessarily mean they have to sacrifice their other dreams. Rallying their partners and children to the quest for equality and power-sharing is certainly the best way to change attitudes and ensure that one day the glass ceiling is shattered.

Get on board the Capital Region Model Railway Tour SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The National Capital Region has many model railroad enthusiasts within its boundaries. Quite a number of the modellers have constructed wonderful model railroad layouts where beautiful scenery, carefully crafted buildings and creative track work abound. These layouts are a passionate la-

bour of love for their builders. Many modellers are happy to display their handiwork and answer questions about the hobby, including how to get started, scenery building and the hobby in general. To share many of these wonderful layouts, an annual event begins this year, on Saturday, Oct. 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Capital Region Model Railway Tour. Select modellers have offered to

open their layouts for the day and host visitors who would like to see what model railroading is all about. The event is open to any member of the public who has an interest in the hobby of model railroading. Come out and see some great layouts and share the enthusiasm of our model railroaders!

Mayor comments on Amazon HQ search BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson said the potential sites being suggested by the OttawaGatineau team working on a bid for a second Amazon headquarters will be kept hush hush. Watson would only say the bid team is looking at fewer than 10 sites in the National Capital Region. The exact locations have to be kept a secret, he insisted, so as not to give away information to competing cities or drive up land prices. Amazon has issued a request for proposals from North American cities hoping to nab the retailer. A second headquarters

would boast 50,000 jobs in a $5-billion campus. Watson was cautiously optimistic about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some cities that can offer more in terms of bonuses than us,â&#x20AC;? Watson said, adding one city even offered to change their name to Amazon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish them luck with that,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bids are due on Oct. 19. The bid team includes subject area experts put together by Invest Ottawa. There are representatives from both sides of the river. Provincial and federal officials have also being helping with the bid. Watson headed to Hollywood and Seattle last month

to woo foreign investment. The stop in Seattle was to tour the 33-building Amazon headquarters and get a better understanding of the scope and infrastructure requirements of the campus. The retailer is looking to set up shop in a region with more than one million people. The site needs to have flawless cell service, access to mass transit and be 45 minutes away from an international airport.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Autonomous Vehicles in Kanata I was delighted to be joined by Mayor Jim Watson to witness the first-in-Canada autonomous vehicle demonstration in Kanata. Thousands of people came out to witness the event in Canada’s largest technology park, on Legget Drive. This is yet another example of the tremendous technological capabilities being created and demonstrated every day in Kanata!

US Agriculture Committee Visit I was pleased to help host the US House Agriculture Committee at Parliament this past week. We had great discussions about our mutual agricultural interests. We stressed that the agriculture trade balance actually favours the US. It is so important to continue constructive dialogue with our largest trading partner.

Speaking with Students It was great to chat with students from All Saints High School as they visited Parliament. I was happy to take them on the House of Commons floor and answer their great questions. I also had the opportunity to speak with students from Carleton University’s Institutions and Governance Course. They too had great questions on the inner workings of Parliament and government priorities.

International Day of the Girl I was thrilled to celebrate with Constituents the International Day of the Girl this past week. Here in Canada, International Day of the Girl is an important part of Women’s History Month celebrations. This year’s theme, #ClaimYourPlace, is a call to action, a reminder that progress towards gender equality is possible when we ensure the voice of every girl can be heard. I encourage everyone to recognize the girls in their lives who are taking steps to tear down barriers, to build equality for all, and claim their own place in the world.

Pilot project strengthens access to justice in French

BY JENNIFER MCINTSOHS

jake.davies@metroland.com

What started as a pilot project to beef up Frenchlanguage services at the Ottawa courthouse has worked and will continue, OttawaOrléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde announced on Oct. 11. Lalonde, who is the Minister of Francophone Affairs and Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, was uniquely suited for this project. “The government engaged with stakeholders to see what the barriers are to accessing services,” she said. It some cases it was as

simple as adding a “Hello/ Bonjour” greeting, other initiatives were more complex. François Boileau, French Language Services Commissioner, said since the pilot project was implemented two years ago, there have been no complaints from people being unable to get services in the language of their choice. Aside from changing the greeting, the government also worked on training and recruiting bilingual staff. All police forms have been translated and are available in both official languages and everywhere in the courthouse there’s signage explaining French

Language rights specific to each department. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said Ottawa was a good location for the pilot, both because it’s the Nation’s Capital and the proximity to Quebec. “The goal was to empower francophones to access services in the language of their choice,” Naqvi said. There will be ongoing work to improve access to justice in French for all Franco-Ontarians through a new Access to Justice in French Advisory Committee that will be established in the near future. The government is also sharing the report with French Lan-

guage Services Regional Committees throughout the province. The idea stemmed from a 2012 Access to Justice in French report. Currently, approximately 622,415 francophones live in Ontario — about 42 per cent of that population is in Jake Davies/Metroland eastern Ontario. Ottawa is a designated area under the Courts of Justice Act and the French Coun. Eli El-Chantiry took part in the 10 km run, part of the 9 Run Run charity run in Stittsville on Oct. 10. In the photo, Coun. Scott Moffatt Language Services Act. “The time has come for and Coun. Shad Qadri congratulate El-Chantiry on his effort. other courthouses in the province to benefit from the useful initiatives implemented in Ottawa to ensure holistic access to justice for all francophones,” Boileau said.

OCTC unveils new space BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

The One Act Play Festival gets underway in Constance Bay starting Nov. 3. The Rural Root Threatre Company will be presenting three oneact plays prior to the festival starting Oct. 29. Above, from left, Tracy Byers-Reid, Rob Sheldrick and Valerie Jorgenson rehearse the Rural Root production Still Stands the House. For more information on the play’s run, visit www.ruralroot.org.

It was all smiles at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (OCTC) School on Oct. 12, as the new space was unveiled to the public. Thanks to donations from the Ottawa 67’s and the Smilezone Foundation, the school is a riot of colours — with murals, sensory stations, physical education space and more storage space. Nicole Stanger, whose daughter attends the school, said the space “morphed in a matter of weeks.” “The colours exude happiness,” she said of the signature yellow and purple used in Smilezones across the province. Alex Munter, the chief executive officer of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), where the OCTC School is housed, compared the size to that of a convenience

store. “It was built in the ‘70s,” he said. “And it wasn’t up to the task of housing the wonderful work the staff does here.” Scott Bachly, co-chair and co-founder of the Smilezone Foundation, said working with the foundation has been the most humbling and gratifying experience of his life. There are 150 Smilezones across the province in everything from pediatric oncology to mental health centres. It originally started in Oakville. “We wanted to start a foundation for children, about children and to benefit children,” Bachly said, adding the charity hopes to move outside Ontario soon. When the foundation first met with staff at the OCTC, the plan was for them to provide new cubbies. It quickly moved to a makeover.

Ward 5 West Carleton-October Preventing deer and wildlife collisions You might have noticed new permanent road signs warning “Speeding Costs You Deerly” that have been placed along our roadways that are known to be high collision corridors. Ward 5 has a large amount of green space which makes it more likely that you’ll come into contact with wildlife while driving. At this time of year collisions tend to occur more often as days become shorter and deer wander onto our roadways in search of food. The Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) has produced useful resources with tips and strategies for how to lower your risk of a collision with wildlife. Some of these tips include: •

Reduce your speed

•

Use your high beams, scan roadways and shoulders

•

Take notice of yellow wildlife warning signs posted because other drivers have had collisions in this area

•

Drive defensively in case other drivers do not know how to react properly to wildlife on the road

For more information on staying safe on our roads visit TIRF’s website at tirf.ca. You can also go to ottawa.ca and review the Safer Roads Ottawa Program. This is a leading community partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Transportation Services Department committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement, and development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

Mother attempts to bring the outdoors in

ome fall seasons Mother liked more than others. When it got so cold, we had to start wearing our felt slippers after supper, and the frost came early, Mother got a look of despair on her face. Winter wouldn’t be far off, and that would mean snow, ice, and trips into Renfrew only when necessary. It would mean the small panes of glass in the windows would be frosted up, and the trees in the yard, would be as bare as badgers. But that year, fall held off, and the warm days Mother loved, held on. A few bright orange and red leaves still clung to the big maple tree in our backyard, but the ground around formed a soft blanket of vivid colours. Mother loved the fall leaves, and when the warmth of a late summer hung on, she didn’t seem to mind the coming of winter so much. That year Mother went out to the backyard under the maple tree, and choosing very carefully, the most perfectly formed, and the brightest of the coloured leaves, she brought them into the house. She would take a slab of hard wax, which came in sheets of four or six in a box, and melt it on the back of the cook stove. The wax would have been bought for melting and then

pouring into the tops of jars of relishes, pickles, jams and jellies to prevent mould from forming. The pot stayed on the reservoir to keep it from reforming into a hard mass. All the leaves Mother had picked so carefully from the backyard were perfectly formed and with their stems still attached. They would be gently placed on a tea towel on the bake table, in order of size. I could watch, but I couldn’t touch a leaf in case it would break. This was a job for Mother alone. Bringing the pot of melted wax to the bake table, very carefully she would gently take one leaf at a time and dip it into the melted wax. Then each waxed leaf was put on a spread-out copy of the Renfrew Mercury, where it sat until the wax had hardened to Mother’s liking. The leaves would be used to decorate the centre of our dinner table, bringing what Mother thought was a touch of colour to an otherwise drab and ordinary place for our meals. When she first waxed fallen leaves a few years back, Father thought it was a waste of time, and made the comment, “We burn those, you know.” But that didn’t stop Mother from doing what she did every

MARY COOK Memories year when fall came. Of course, the leaves would be lost on the old red and white checked oilcloth, worn at the corners. And heaven forbid that our one and only white linen tablecloth used only for special occasions and when company came, be brought out of the trunk in the upstairs hall. And so, Mother would take two white flour bag sheets and overlap them on our old pine table, covering the checked tablecloth completely. And in the centre she would carefully arrange the waxed maple leaves ... the larger ones in the middle and the smaller ones fanned out around them. And I would think how clever was my mother! And I would wait for Father’s reaction the first time the table was decorated. He saw them, all right. But it looked like he finally accepted what Mother did in

the kitchen, and what she did to the table was up to her, and he actually had a bit of smile on his face. I knew, after several days of the leaves being on the table, and with the heat of the Findlay Oval, having an effect on them, the leaves would start to curl at their edges. And it was then I knew that Father had finally accepted Mother’s idea of bringing a bit of the outdoors inside. Because he took the salt and pepper shakers, and very carefully placed them on the very edges of the leaves that were starting to curl, to keep them in shape a bit longer. Not another word was said about burning leaves. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

With cold weather soon the death toll will rise BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Nature’s Way

Many people have reported they are still seeing active insects. Some have said mosquitoes are still biting. Others have had nasty encounters with Yellowjacket Wasps. And a few have spotted the occasional Monarch butterfly fluttering by. I’ve been asked if these sightings are unusual for this time of year. My answer was yes, but not unexpected. Usually by now there has been a hard frost or two and several days of strong northerly winds. But warmer temperatures have prevailed, and most winds have come from the south. These conditions have allowed a number of insects to stay active when normally they would be either dormant or dead. Under freezing conditions, the water in insect bodies turns to ice and the cells rupture, causing death. Praying Mantids, Walking Sticks, and many other insects suffer that

fate. But prior to death they did mate and lay eggs. Since the embryos in the eggs carry the parents’ genes, their life was not in vain; genetic immortality is the goal of all living things But some insects can survive subzero temperatures through the use of glycerol – an antifreeze that keeps their internal liquids unfrozen (supercooled). When freezing temperatures arrive, female mosquitoes survive while males perish. In early spring, the survivors lay their eggs in shallow water, often in tree boles or shallow pools in the forest. When the eggs hatch and the larvae complete their cycle, a new generation of biting insects greets us when we enter their domain. Only the newly mated queens of wasps and Bumble Bees survive freezing temperatures; the rest of their kind die. A few butterflies (and moths) survive winter as adults while most of their relatives do so as pupae or, in the case of Monarchs, as butterflies

farther south. Mourning Cloaks, Commas, and Compton’s Tortoiseshells crawl into crevices where they spend winter in an unfrozen state thanks to their antifreeze. In spring these colourful butterflies are the first to fly in local forests. Some insects overwinter as supercooled larvae while others tolerate the formation of ice inside their bodies in a state known as freeze tolerance. Banded Woolly Bears, the familiar caterpillars of Isabella Moths, hide in leaf litter and partly freeze, only to thaw and crawl when conditions get warmer. The warm temperatures have also inspired birds to sing, although not with the full conviction heard in spring. White-throated Sparrows, Winter Wrens, and Song Sparrows are currently offering recognizable renditions of their spring songs. Male Ruffed Grouse have also been heard sending out their familiar spring drumrolls from atop old logs. Now before you think this warm weather will in-

spire birds to mate, only to lose their eggs when cold temperatures arrive, worry not. Each fall the photoperiod, the amount of light between dawn and dusk, is similar to that experienced in spring, resulting in a weak rush of hormones that inspires some males to sing. Those feelings quick-

ly vanish when the days further shorten and cold temperatures prevail. Besides, female birds appear far too clever to be fooled by the photoperiod for they never seem to respond to an unseasonably inspired male! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

Brian left us after a 6-year courageous battle against cancer, throughout which he never lost his unwavering determination and immeasurable will-to-live. He was 67. Brian is survived by his beloved wife and soulmate Elaine and their children Matthew (Michelle Kealey) and Caroline Feggans (Scott). Cherished “Zaidie” of Stella and Madelyn Orrbine, Joanna Feggans, Chloe Belle Norman and Harrison Somers. Predeceased by his parents, John and Doris Orrbine and his brother, David.

Also survived by his brother-inlaw, Leon Levy (Janet); countless friends, neighbours and associates whose lives have all been touched by this incredible man. Though tall in stature, Brian always thrived to meet people at their level. His kind mannerism, humour and genuine concern for others are among the finest qualities he possessed. A true gentleman has left our midst. He will be truly missed. Friends were invited to pay their respects during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday, October 13th from 9:30 until 11:45 a.m. A Tribute to Brian took place in the Pilon Family Chapel on Friday at 12 noon.

Family game nights will never be the same but his wit will be recounted. Many thanks to Dr. Drake and the amazing care, compassion and respect the staff at Stoneridge Manor showed him.

FOWLER, JOHN

John Albert Fowler succumbed to the ravages of dementia, quietly at home on Thursday, October 12, 2017. John lived a good life with strong family ties, honest friendships, and an unbendable work ethic. He will be sorely missed by Nancy, Shawn, & Tracy, and her family Kevin, Tristan, Brody, Leighton & Riley, along with Susan and Ken, Jordana & Justin. The large extended family of Singbush’s, Maxwell’s and the Mulligan clan will have great stories of wonderful times. Friends gathered over a lifetime in Mississauga, Waterloo, Sudbury, Georgetown, Port Bruce, Toronto, Vydon Acres, Ottawa and Arnprior can attest to John’s strength of character. John was involved in many innovative banking changes over his thirty-seven years in the financial industry with CIBC. Colleagues span North America and Europe. This disease was a crushing blow, but the support of family, friends and generous neighbours along with the professional care providers helped John and his family immensely. The Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County, particularly Milton & Caitlin were gentle pillars of knowledge and strength. Dr. Andrew Frank with his staff; Dr. Michael Fishman, caring to the end; the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital staff; the LIHN (CCAC); St. Elizabeth Home Health Care and Bayshore Healthcare were invaluable during this very difficult journey. Our genuine thanks to everyone. John will be interred in the historic Beaverton Stone Church Cemetery in a private service. In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel, 50 John Street North, Arnprior. Condolences/Donations www.pilonfamily.ca

And that means opening your doors to your neighbours when they need you,” says Tartan Homes’ co-owner, Bruce Nicols. “The events that have been unfolding with our youth and the opioid crisis in this part of Ottawa affects every parent. We may not have the answers right now. But encouraging our kids through creativity, and supporting grassroots groups like We the Parents, are the first steps in the journey,” adds Tartan Homes president, Ian Nicol. We the Parents was founded by Kanata father and businessman Sean O’Leary in response to the opioid addiction crisis that has been unfolding in Kanata-Stittsville and across Ottawa. The non-profit grassroots organization advocates for prevention through education and government engagement, and is creating a family navigation service in support of those needing resources for substance abuse disorders. All events are free to the community. However, donations to We the Parents can be made at wetheparents.ca/donate/ or in person at the Four Chefs, Four Homes event on December 2nd. For more information, please contact Julie Beun, juliebeun@gmail.com or 613 371 9060. Schedule of events follows:

HOW TO CREATE CURB APPEAL THIS FALL We all know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, however when it comes to real estate, first impressions go a long way. “Homebuyers tend to use the exterior of a home and its yard as a gauge on what the inside looks like,” says Patricia Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “Buyers will often do a ‘drive-by’ before deciding whether or not to request a showing. First impressions are critical to capture the attention of homebuyers and send the message that the home has been well cared for, inside and out.” To ensure your home stands out and gets noticed for the right reasons this fall, Verge recommends taking care of these simple steps before listing: • Cut: Make sure trees and bushes are neatly trimmed. • Clear: Remove leaves and sticks from gutters. Make sure the lawn is mowed, leaves are raked and weeds are removed. • Clean: Wash windows, pressure-wash dirty siding and decks, and kill mould and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof and driveway. • Paint: If you can’t afford to do the whole house, a fresh coat of paint will transform your front door and provide a more welcoming entrance. 2 Floor Plan - Thursday, October 19, 2017

• Primp: Add a boost of colour to your garden with fall bloomers like mums and pansies. • Upgrade: Change outdated locks and handles on your front door, replace rusty fixtures and add lighting to the front porch and yard. “Preparing the exterior is one of the most important things sellers can do to ready a home for sale,” says Verge. “With

Keep your lawn healthy over winter with these fall tips

a little creativity and care, you can rest assured that your home looks its best without breaking the bank.” Talk to your Realtor about what potential buyers in your area are looking for. More information is available at www. wedothehomework.ca. newscanada.com

Spring and summer may be the seasons most often associated with landscaping and lawn care, but tending to lawns and gardens is a year-round job. If lawn and garden responsibilities dip considerably in winter, then fall is the last significant chance before the new year that homeowners will have to address the landscaping around their homes. Fall lawn care differs from spring and summer lawn care, even if the warm temperatures of summer linger into autumn. Homeowners who want their lawns to thrive year-round can take advantage of the welcoming weather of fall to address any existing or potential issues. • Keep mowing, but adjust how you mow. It’s important that homeowners continue to mow their lawns so long as grass is growing. But as fall transitions into winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut shorter while remaining mindful that no blade of grass should ever be trimmed by more than one-third. Lowering the blades will allow more sunlight to reach the grass in the months ahead. • Remove leaves as they fall. Much like apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall. Some homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on grass. Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen. The result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees. • Repair bald spots. Summer exacts a toll on lawns in various ways, and even homeowners with green thumbs may end up with a lawn filled with bald spots come September. Autumn is a great time to repair these bald spots. Lawn repair mixes like Scotts® PatchMaster contain mulch, seed and fertilizer to repair bald spots, which can begin to recover in as little as seven days. Before applying such products, remove dead grass and loosen the top few inches of soil. Follow any additional manufacturer instructions as well. • Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing. Fall lawn care provides a great reason to spend some time in the yard before the arrival of winter.

Income Series is the

smartest investment in Ottawa Real estate has long been one of the most lucrative investments. Now quality Ottawa builder Phoenix Homes is releasing its exclusive Income Series that will give every homeowner an income to bolster their investment. The result of Phoenix Homes’ leading edge innovation, The Income Series features three styles of multi-residential dwellings that contain a full home as well as a private, separate apartment all under one roof. Styled to appear from the curb as large, luxury single homes, the Income Series features private entrances and living space, plenty of storage and state-of-the-art design and construction. Many people today are trying to hedge their income to create investment securities that will pay off in the years ahead. “These three floorplans focus on the built-in income generating rental suites in the basement. There is a 35’ bungalow model, a 35’ 2-storey home and a 50’ two storey home. All homes have the superlative sound and fire separation as well as separate mechanicals so the tenant and the owner of the home can both control their environment,” says Rahul Kochar, Vice-President of Phoenix Homes. “There will be separate addressing for the two units as well, but from the street the homes will appear to just be a regular single family home. An investment property of this type not only provides income to offset the cost of purchase, it builds equity that can turn into a sizeable security for your future.” At 4,376 sq. ft. the Klondike is the flagship of the Income Series. Built on a 50’ lot, this massive home features a 1,478 sq. ft. income unit plus a 2,898 sq. ft. main home. The rental unit has its own separate garage with inside, main floor access as well as a ground level porch. The unit also features a large second floor loft, all private and separate from the main living areas. The Klondike main home is loaded with popular features such as a huge kitchen with central island, a coffee bar, walkin pantry and separate formal dining with cathedral ceiling. The Klondike has a main floor office, four bedrooms and optional loft or fifth bedroom on the second level, plus an expansive master suite with ensuite, walk-in closets, soaker tub and stand-in shower, with all the latest comfort features. At up to 3,040 sq. ft., the Miraposa PLUS is a stunning 2-storey home with a classic stance on a 35’ lot. The rental unit features a spacious 855 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment complete with private entrance, kitchen-dinette, large living room, and combined laundry/washroom. The Miraposa PLUS main home has all the room a growing family needs with a massive master suite with walk-in closet, ensuite with soaker tub as well as two more large bedrooms plus a bonus room along with upstairs laundry. The first floor has a covered porch, separate dining and family rooms plus a breakfast nook, main floor powder room and inside access to the garage. For those who prefer one-level living but still want to benefit from a rental unit, the Sonora is a modern 2,156 sq. ft. bungalow with all the amenities within easy reach, on a 35’ lot. The large 976 sq. ft. rental unit has two bedrooms, eat-in kitchen and large living room. With common access to a shared entrance, the Sonora main floor home has two bedrooms, the master featuring two large closets, ensuite with separate shower and soaker tub. The large, well-laid kitchen opens to a spacious dining room, separate from the family room, complete with gas fireplace and opening to a private rear deck. The Income Series homes will be available on any Phoenix building site that has the appropriate lot size. For example, the two 35’ homes and one 50’ home will be available at Pathways at Findlay Creek, while the two 35’ homes will be

available at Fernbank Crossing. “We will be building the 50’ model, the Klondike, at our Pathways site starting late this year with a launch in the spring of 2018.” The 50’ models will also be available at Strandherd Meadows and Diamondview Estates. “All of our homes are pre-ordered and tailored to the buyers needs and specific selections of interior finishes.” Whether the apartment is used for extended family or a rental, Phoenix Homes are ideal investment properties as they are well-built, long-lasting homes that increase in value with each passing year. “We go the extra distance to ensure every home we build has lasting value.”

“We offer the best value anywhere. We invite people to shop and compare. We’ll always have something the others don’t. It is our goal to always be one step ahead of the competition, with the highest quality finishing, buyer incentive bonuses and the most innovative designs and materials. When you do the math, you will always find that Phoenix leads the industry in value, quality and innovation.” “Our relationship with banks and lending institutions can also assist investors with their investment financing as well as educating buyers on the process. We also have exclusive deals with realtors that can help fill the rentals with quality tenants.” For more information on The Income Series and all the innovative products from Phoenix Homes, go online to www.Phoenixhomes.ca.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Saying goodbye to farm animals is harder than I thought

he drover was due at the gate right around the time I had to head out to pick up our homestay student. I was walking to the car when I noticed the Farmer circling on his ATV, trying frantically to get the cattle out of the pasture and into the barn. Sighing, I pulled on my barn shoes and rushed out to help. I stuffed a couple apples in my pocket before leaving the house. Once outside, I noticed Mocha had spotted the gate left open for the drover. She was skipping across the tractor ruts, ever so gratefully, in an attempt to escape without notice through that portal to freedom. A fragrant apple tree stands on the other side. Her favourite. I managed to get past her just as the ATV rounded the corner. The next trick would be to get her back inside the farm gate without letting anyone else out. The rest of the herd had caught on to her plan and were milling about the fence, mooing encouragement and protest. Then I remembered the apple in my pocket: a sure way to get Mocha to follow you to the ends of the Earth. Next, we had to get the bull in the barn. It was his turn to head

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife onward to his next posting. He would be taken to market to be bought by another farmer. He would soon be king of another herd. The Farmer tried in vain to push the entire herd through the narrow cattle chute. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening. Eventually he gave up and pushed them through the fence at the side of the barn, hoping they would notice the fresh hay bale he had placed inside the barn. They did. Problem solved. Next, he hopped off the ATV and onto the tractor to lift a heavy iron gate into the opening. We no longer have a sliding barn door there, as the bull used it for a head-butting toy last year. I ran back to the house, jumped in the car and set off to pick up our girl. When I returned, the drover truck was just leaving. It was an Irish goodbye. The cattle stood and stared at the

truck as it rattled across the tractor ruts, down the lane and out of their lives. Then one by one, the cows headed back out to pasture. I wonder what they are thinking? Their bull is gone. Their calves are gone. You can tell me they are simple animals and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking anything, but I know better. I have seen cows expressing frustration, sorrow, contentment and delight. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel something when big changes happen in their limited lives. We try to make them as happy and comfortable as possible while they are here. That is our role. Soon another truck will arrive. The cattle will gather at the gate when they hear it rounding the corner. They know the rattle of a cattle truck means either the arrival or the exit of another animal. Soon it will be their turn, to go off to their new farm. We

trust their new farmer will treat them with respect and consideration too. And to whoever buys our bull at market, please take note. He may be built like a small snowplow but he has a very gentle spirit. When the drover arrived to collect him, he did just as he had when we first bought him. He followed the gentle hand bearing sweetfeed and hopped up into the back of the truck with very little convincing. He will eat apples out of your hand, with a bite more gentle than a pupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Of course we always kept a farm implement or fence between us and the bull, out of respect for his basic instincts to butt with his head. We also gave him plenty of room during mating or calving season, as he took his job very seriously. He is a good bull. We called him Dono, as printed on his ear tag, because he came from the Donoghue farm. P lease leave him some heavy objects that he is allowed to push around the barnyard; he loves that. A fallen tree trunk or rusted out old plough will do. If you treat him well, he will serve you well. And as for us, we will wait to see what happens next on the farm, without animals.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Hurting our Small Businesses It goes without saying, but I will say it any ways, small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy, always have been and always will be. But our Provincial and Federal governments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to understand this. Recently I met with a constituent who I will call D, she runs a not for profit day care in northern Kanata, and she told me how the new minimum wage and tax increases will hurt her business. With the hiked minimum wage at $15/hr, her Early Childhood Educators who earn around $18/hr, will rightfully expect an increase in salary because without one their work becomes devalued. But D canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford this increase, the new salary equivalent would be almost $24/hr to keep the same rate of pay. Now D fears her employees will be looking at other jobs that now have wages that are artificially more competitive with less stressful work. On top of the higher minimum wage D finds herself caught up in the new tax hikes on small businesses that the federal government is proposing. These new taxes will make it harder for D to save for her retirement, and harder to re-invest in her business to create a better environment for the children she cares for. These reforms are going to hurt our businesses, they are going to hurt our farmers, and they are going to hurt our doctors. We must stop them.

Wanted volunteer puppy raisers SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Since 1892

LIGHTING

DESIGN

PLANNERS ON SITE

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteer puppy raisers in West Carleton. This is a long-term volunteer commitment of twelve to eighteen months. The volunteer raises the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. However, the unique part of this volunteer position is taking the puppy nearly everywhere you go. Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you will be housebound for a short time. Once the puppy’s vaccinations are in place, around four months of age, you will be asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it

to as many environments and situations as possible, that it may later encounter as a guide dog. If you work outside of the home, you would start with a sixteen-week old puppy, so that vaccinations are in place and you can take the puppy to work and public areas immediately. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions, so an active lifestyle is preferred. This is a unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-at-home parents, post-secondary students, individuals who work from home or have their own business, part-time workers, or retirees. Puppy raisers, who are employed full-time and have permission from their employer, can have the puppy in the workplace. It’s a great way for a company to show their philanthropic

spirit, and to boost morale, as employees encounter a cute little puppy at work on a daily basis. All food, supplies, and veterinary expenses are provided by the organization. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog. If you would like to learn more about the puppy raising program at Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, email info@guidedogs.ca or call (613) 692-7777. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided more than 830 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast, including in West Carleton.
